Good news. But it probably will sit due to red tape for least a decade.

If it proves to be effective after more testing, it is more than a “Discovery of the Decade” It will be a discovery of a “Century or Two”!

Its nice and all that, but I’d still rather have my money go towards buying carbon credits.

But will it make my certain part of the anatomy bigger?

Oh, wait, you mean pharmaceutical companies aren’t all evil?

Yup! Its not only great news for the patients but it is also great news for those who have to take care of them and live with them. Its a horrible feeling when a loved one can no longer recognize you.

I like french fried potaters.


I seriously debated with myself about posting this. I'm just too irreverent to take everything so seriously

>Experts urged caution, warning that the drug had been tried on only a very few patients and, crucially, had not been tested against a placebo in a randomised controlled trial.

??? How do you inject a placebo into the spinal column and tilt the patient back, etc?

WTH would be garnered from that? Other than to place a patient at risk for nothing?

Placebos are not relevant here. - It either works or it does not, and the difference would be discernible to anyone familiar with the patient.

I doubt it will “sit” that long. The drug has been used for arthritis for a long time. This is an indication that the drug companies want to receive...I imagine it will be fast-tracked through the FDA.

Unfortunately, there are few if any Magic Bullets.

I suspect this in not one either.

It would be a blessing for some. But I think on someone like my dad it would be best to leave him alone. The nursing home won’t let him out due to other conditions. He would just be so upset to know where he was & angry too. I hope they can make this available for people soon though.

This is worth VERY accelerated research and approval, and a Nobel Prize for Medicine if it works—on a par with the Salk Vaccine.
